TIMESCAN 2 is not just another skateboarding video. It is something much more. During the filming process, a lot has changed of the world we used to know. With no idea of when borders will open up or where skateboarding was headed, I spent the last four years traveling and filming the people around me, digging deeper and deeper into the Japanese skate scene. All of the experiences from my life changing choice to live and skate in Japan have led to this movie. - Rob Taro FILMED AND EDITED BY ROB TARO FULL PARTS RYO NOBUCHIKA MASAKI HONGO RYO SEJIRI KAZUAKI TAMAKI SHINTARO HONGO GOU MIYAGI (first video part in 10 years) FRIENDS TAKAO COOPER / RAPHIEL OKABE / KOUKI ARIMA / ISSEY KUMATANI / RAI NAKAMICHI / SHINYA MASUDA / KYONOSUKE YAMASHITA / RIO MORISHIGE / GOU SAITO / TAIHO TOKURA / DAIKI HOSHINO / HINATA YABE / TAIYO MIZOTE / LEO TAKAYAMA / TAISHO / SOTA TOMIKAWA / MASATO / JUNPEI SHIBATA / HOKKAI / KATSUMI HIRABAYASHI / SERI / YUHEI IWAMOTO / SHINNOSUKE MICHIUE / KOJUNT / SHIGETA IHA / YOSHIAKI NAGADO / KOJIRO HARA / SEIYA BOWSER / SHOGO ZAMA / LUI ARAKI / HIROKI MURAOKA / SHOMA TAKEDA / NATSUKI KINOSHITA / JINNOSUKE OKADA / SHIN SANBONGI / SHOR WEST / NAOTO BLAST BLOCKZ / RYUICHI MURAKAMI / SHIKI YOKOO / JAMI / HOSHITO TAMURA / MAKOTO CAPY NISHIKAWA / KENJI TANAKA / YUICHI SANSEI IGEI / RYOTA ABE / KENTA OGURA / YAMATO KOSUZU / KAZUAKI TAMAKI / RYURI HARADA NAME TITLE ART DAIMON / HAROSHI / GN888 / STABRAIN / KOJIRO HARA / HIROTTON / RYO SEJIRI / KAZUAKI TAMAKI / HIROKI MURAOKA / ROB TARO 0:00 Intro 1:18 Ryo Nobuchika 4:10 Masaki Hongo 7:21 Friends 1 11:38 Friends 2 15:24 Friends 3 19:25 Shin & Shor 26:49 Ryo Sejiri 30:44 Kazuaki Tamaki 34:29 Shintaro Hongo 41:06 Gou Miyagi 45:38 Credits COVER ART TOSHIKAZU NOZAKA ARTICLES https://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2024/01/02/watch-timescan-2-a-homie-video-that-features-54-different-skaters-across-japan/ https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/meeting-mr-miyagi-gou-s-return-to-the-spotlight/ https://www.freeskatemag.com/2023/10/23/ryo-sejiri-in-timescan-2-plus-qa-with-filmmaker-rob-taro/ https://tokion.jp/2023/08/24/interview-rob-taro-part1/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/timescan/ ONLINE STORE https://www.timescan.store/ DVDs in USA https://www.theoriesofatlantis.com/products/timescan-2-dvd?_pos=1&_sid=64b5c1f85&_ss=r DVDs in EUROPE https://www.thepalomino.com/collections/timescan/products/timescan-3

Since his breakout part broke minds around the globe, Gou’s skating has defied definition and challenged the tenets of the mainstream. And he’s back again to pave the way for the avant garde, even without pavement.

SUBSCRIBE to Vague here: https://www.shorturl.at/dBDSU While shooting our Tokyo x Osaka article for Issue 17 of the mag in Japan we were lucky enough to meet up with multi-talented filmer and skater Rob Taro of TimeScan. Much to our surprise we saw Rob was filming most of the day but then out of nowhere he would go skate something ridiculous. After our visit to Japan we hit up Rob and he wanted to collaborate for a TimeScan x Vague video. The edit features skateboarding in Tokyo, Osaka and more cities graced with amazing spots (but probably with high security). Watch this humble man's edit featuring the likes of Hiroki Muraoka, Tsuyoshi Uchida, Kouki Arima, Masaki Hongo, Shintaro Hongo, Yudai Fujigasaki, Laurence Keefe, Yuhei Iwamoto, Rio Morishige, Leo Takayama, Sota Tomikawa, Shinya Masuda, Sera Kanno, Takao Cooper and Tom Delion. Filmed in Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Osaka. Heywood Ward interviewed Rob Taro on life in Japan, this new video, his new Hokkaido part (dropping soon) as well as our experience shooting the Tokyo x Osaka article from issue 17.

Although it isn’t possible to travel outside of Japan, it’s a blessing to be able to put out something positive at the end of a shit year."

We are proud to announce the very first episode of our new documentary series ' Long Distance' by Rob Taro. In this episode, we take a look into Kenji Tanaka's interesting lifestyle in the country sides of Ibaraki prefecture, and his huge love for skateboarding. He is one of the few in Japan to put so much motivation and effort into skateboarding- distributing out of his house, attending skate tours, and contributing to building more parks, and keeping and growing the huge community that he himself has created.
